Deeper Descriptions of Accessory Items
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Jun 30, 2022 at 09:21:15 AM

There have been a lot of questions over the last few days about the GM screen, Player Tower Accessory Set, Poster map, haggle die, and character sheets. 

Accessory Descriptions 

The Screen and Player Tower will feature information that is applicable to the GM in the case of the screen and to the players in the case of the tower. Please see the GM screen from Mazes which has a good amount of information for the player as well. We'll be putting the pertinent player information on the bottom piece of the tower and the top piece of the tower will be thematic to look like the dark tower. 

Maze Controller Screen for Mazes Fantasy Roleplaying

Adversary GM Screen 

  • Full color tri-fold thick cardboard material
  • Gold Foil Stamping 
  • Pertinent GM reference information 
  • Adversary Sheets

 Player Tower Accessory Set

  • Full color player tower with player reference information (in compact 2 piece box)
  • Dice Roller 
  • Polyhedral dice set (8 dice) - $15 value
  • Full Color character sheet pad - $10 value
  • Full Color Token Set for tracking Spirit, Hearts, & Forces - $10 value
  • Full Color Reference Card Deck for visual aid - $10 value

NOTES: 

  • The value of the player reference tower & dice roller is surely more than $5, making the $50 price point quite reasonable. 
  • Tokens will be made of cardboard and will be full color on both sides. 
  • The 8 polyhedral dice will be the color scheme of the Return to Dark Tower board game/RPG and we are hoping to be able to offer custom faces. That is our 1300 backer goal, BUT if we don't hit it we may be able to hit it during the pledge manager survey as that is something Backerkit offers. 

Poster Map

The map will be folded paper which could be used to track your game if you don't own the board game. However, the board game board will be superior quality than the poster map provided via our stretch goal. Of course you could also simply hang it on your wall in your office or game room. 

Haggle Die

The haggle die will be used for random events off scene (things happening in other places). We expect the faces of the die to be VERY similar to the haggle die but not exactly the same as we are not using it in the same mechanical way that the board game does. 

Character Sheets 

The hardcover and the digital version of Return to Dark Tower RPG will include printer friendly character sheets and adversary sheets.  We plan to offer the player tower accessory kit and the GM Screen through the pledge manager however when we are ready to go into retail (Spring/Summer 2023) we may decide to offer the items individually as well. 

As we are not in production with any of these items yet, this is subject to change. Thank you for your questions!

Stretch Goal Status

You may notice that we added a few more things to the stretch goal list as we head into the final 10 days of the campaign.  We are VERY close to unlocking the full color map which is very exciting! For those of you familiar with the board game, we felt the need to include a Haggle Die in the Player Tower Accessory Set as it is such a fun part of the board game. 

Adversary Sheet

Just as we did with the character sheet, the Adversary sheet was updated based on feedback from playtesting the game.
